Hey All,
Worked on this project over the last couple of days and took some pictures and videos to help ease the install for anyone else looking at doing these mods them self. None of them are as hard as most people think, however they are time consuming and if you run into any issues, even more so. But don't be scared, if you go slow follow the guides and manual, it can be done with simple tools and save you hundreds on installs!

As promised, Ford manual: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=41

Keep in mind, these are not the complete instructions, maybe not even the "right" way to do some things, but it is what works for me on our cars. If you have any questions regarding specs or procedures, you do need to cunsult the product literarture or Ford manuals.






Also, I thought it would be fun to note the workspace:

the video broke here for some reason, basically I'm saying you need to have a wrench on the nut, and the adjuster and tighten against each other to get full range of motion, if you tighten one then the other, it will feel tight, but you are completely locking your spherical bearing, and it does not function.

Isn't that pretty! on a side note, with it all back together, I do not have the tool to prime the clutch. Have no fear though, our clutch pedals will prime them self, you just got to sit there and pump your clutch a ton of times, but it comes back to life.

Thanks for taking a look. If you guys have any questions about the install, feel free to ask in the thread, I will do my best to answer, and then everyone else can see the answers too.

Great job, and vids. Very helpful for sure.

Thank you all, I noticed if you looked before, you could find some guides here and there, but everything else I had seen was more by the book, and less about all the stuff you need to know, like the tips and tricks for to save you a ton of time. Especialy if your doing this on the ground!

timmbo
